AN ILLUSION.

ance TO be reversed, and ABCD seems 10
be the back face, while X comes to the front,
the apparent position of the solid changing
at the same time. A little practice will en-
able one to cause 1t to change sides at will
and peculiar sensation is experienced us the
figure apparently changes its position, as il
endowed with life.
1t is rather difficult, says Science News, to
briefly explain this illusion, which depends
upon the laws of perspective. When tile face
ABCD appears to be in front, the block
appears TO be resting i'll a natural position,
and consequently the eye at first sees it that
way; but when the sides are reversed the
block seems to be tipped backward against
the action of gravity, and an effort OF the
will is needed 10 make it assume that posi-
ton, although the lines of prospective indi-
cate both positions equally we'll. la order to
prevent this confusion in drawings Of crys-
tails, etc the back lines are usually drawn
dotted or broken, to indicate their position.

The prospect for the apple crop is dis,
cOuraging in almost every section except
in New England and New York The
present is the "Off" or non bearing year,
though many young orchards are fruitful
in the off, year
A decrease in cotton average is noted in
North Carolina, and is attributed to the
beginning Of an effort on the part of plant
ers to grow their home supplies.
Reports from different states make It
appear that there will be fair grape yield
From Germany comes the report that n
decided preference is given in that country
TO American hickory for forest culture.
Truck farming in Louisiana is becoming
one Of the important industries Of that
state.
Virginia Is raising a less quantity Of
tobacco. but it is Of improved quality
Favorable reports of the cotton crop
come from several states.

THE CIyET.

This odoriferous fluid is secreted in cavity
or poe ct. Ii is extracted from the animal
once week, while it is firmly attached to a
cage by means Of strong chains A small
spoon is introduced into the pocket and the
precious perfume is withdrawn with care.
Hundreds Of these animals are kept in cap
tivity on the outskirts Of Abyssinia and sup
ply the world with civet
There are, says Science News, from which
the above was taken, two distinct varieties Of
the wonderful beasts. The Viverra civetta
or true civet, is peculiar to Abyssnia and the
southern division of Africa, where it is vul-
carly known by the name Of musk cat It
may be distinguished by its projecting teeth,
small and piercing eyes and short, rounded
ears. The hair is long and thin, the color
varying from graysh black to light gray.
darker on the back, where it forms an electile
name Its flattened sides are brindled with
black, irregular stripes. IL is a bloodthiIsty
animal, and is an object of fear and abhor-
renee in this region, although it rarely moves
abroad during the day, but passes the hours
of light and heat in slothfui siumber, hidden
from prying eyes. The Nlverra zibetha of
India and the Philippine islands differs in no
essential particulars save its short and thick
hair and much longer neck; the description
of one may serve for that, with this single
variation. I'm many ways the civet resem-
bfes both the jaguar and the cat, the latter
especially in disposition and size

Timely Notes on Bee Keeping.

Work to be done in the apiary during
the summer months runs somewhat as
follows:
Arrange hives for boxing and extract
ing.
Have everything in readiness for
swarms, if this system is practical.
Rear queens, and make artificial
Swarms.
Nentlate strong swarms in the warm
est weather,
Remove surplus boxes as soon as full,
and supply the place of the first ones with
empty boxes.
Look out for the moth Larvae in surplus
honey and extra combs
Extract at suitable intervals
If preparations are to be made for win
tering bees indoors the work ought to be
done in warm weather, that all damp
material may be dried before the room is
occupied by the bees. Do not neglect

Save the Liquid Manure.

Scientists have proven by chemical
analysis the value of liquid manure as
plant food, and it will pay farmers to save
all that is made in stables, barns and cat.
tie sheds. This can be done by conduct
ing it into tanks or cisterns made for the
purpose, or by the use of absorbents. The
latter is the more usual plan, and not a
few farmers consider the bedding from
sheds and stables of horses, sawdust and
other material saturated with urine, one
of the most valuable components of the
manure pits and compost heap. Liquid
manure must be largely diluted before
application; hence the plan alluded to of
doing it by absorbents and mixing therein
with the manure heap, is an excellent one,

Thinning Fruits.

All horticulturists who grow choice fruit
for market realize the Importance of thin
ming out the embryo fruit by relieving
trees and vines of any surplus and of all
inferior or diseased specimens. Farmers,
as a rule, also recognize the importance Of
thinning fruits, but comparatively few Of
them do 1t, the plea being that it is too
much trouble. The consequence of neglect
in this direction is lot of inferior fruit,
often unfit for any market; very unlike
the choice grades that command highest
prices.
The surplus of trees or vines may be re-
moved before the flowers have bloomed
by the operation of disbudding or il may
be done AS soon as the fruit has set; in
deed, thinning may still be accomplished
after the fruit is half grown, by reducing
the number, so that what remains will be
fully and perfectly developed. This thin
ming out of fruit pays alike on pear,
peach, plum and other fruit trees, and es-
pecially have its good effects been noted
on grape vines. 1t is by the removal of
large portion of clusters of embryo fruits
that prize grapes, peaches and the like are
obtained.

WHITE SOLID CELERY.

Numbered with leading varieties popu-
lar in many sections, and notably in the
great celery districts about Kalamazoo,
Mich, is Golden Dwarf" In size and
habit of growth it is much the same as the
half dwarf and dwarf kinds, except that
when blanched the heart is of waxy
golden yellow. 1t is, during winter, one
of the best keepers known.
"Boston Market" is favorite around
Boston, and is similar TO the dwarf white
varieties but rather more robust. "Giant
White Solid" is one of the best Of the
large growing sorts, and is priced In
southern sections especially, because it
will thrive in dry, hot atmosphere.
White Plume" q comparatively new
celery, has found favor among amateur

Newt set trees require special care Mt
this seson, and many trees will doubtless
die Of neglect that with proper attention
might thrive. Hot, dry weather kills
many young trees. The ground around
newly set trees ought to be frequently
stirrei and not allowed to become hard.
IL tres were not mulched at time of
planting stir the soil and apply as a
mulu some substance that will soak up
and etain moisture. 1t does no good TO
waite trees that are not mulched in dry
